What is Baptist Health?
Baptist Health is a health system serving Kentucky and southern Indiana, and its main business is hospital and specialty care. Its listed care includes emergency and urgent care, cancer care, heart care, and ortho and sports medicine. It has offices in Corbin, Floyd, Hardin, La Grange, Lexington, Louisville, Paducah, Richmond and Madisonville, so this is one health system with many locations rather than a single clinic.
Medical weight loss sits within its Bariatric Care and Weight Loss Management section. The listed services are surgical services for weight loss, medical weight loss and management, information seminars, weight loss support groups, and procedures and treatments. The system describes its options this way: "We have a medical weight loss or doctor supervised program and we also have a surgical program." John Oldham, MD is the one prescriber named. No hormone therapy, peptide therapy or longevity medicine is listed among its services.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for medical weight loss, and it does not state a consultation fee. Nothing says whether medication is included in any fee, which medications are prescribed for weight loss, or whether insurance is accepted. The system has a Price Transparency section, a Price Estimator, and a payment options question under its bariatric care section. It is not clear whether any of those cover the medical weight loss program, so ask about that program directly.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask which Baptist Health location offers the medical weight loss program, since it does not say. Ask whether John Oldham, MD signs each prescription, and which medications are used. Ask whether those medications are brand-name or compounded. Ask whether medication is part of the program fee or billed separately, and what the first consultation, follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether insurance is billed. Ask whether any part of the program can be done by video, since Virtual Care is a system service that is not tied to weight loss anywhere it is described. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a commitment period. The general number is 502-896-5000, and the weight loss line is 1.855.220.8689.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a multi-town health system with a surgical option under one roof, and you are willing to ask about cost and location before you book. It is a weaker fit if you want posted prices, a cash-pay membership, or hormone or peptide care.
